Default Starting brassicas for next spring?

Hi folks,

Time for another dumb question.

I started a load of cabbages (Savoy and April), calabrese, cauliflowers (all year round) and brussels sprouts back in February. Would I be right in thinking that all of these except the sprouts will be harvested this summer?

And if I want cabbages and cauliflowers for next winter/spring, when should I start those off? (Or is that when the ones I have will be ready?)

I also started some purple sprouting brocolli (Rudolph?) and a second sowing of sprouts about 3 weeks ago - on the presumption that these would be timed right for the spring too. But I'm now a bit worried that I've gotten it all wrong.

I have loads coming good about now, but I had bought these as plug plants last summer so growing from seed myself is a new thing and I can't figure out the length of time to grow from the packets, sorry.

Wings
